Le Tanet

Le Tanet is a mountain in the Vosges with a summit around 1290 meters elevation composed of granite rock formations. The site connects to hiking trails that link with the longer GR 5 long-distance path system.

The mountain formed as part of the ancient Vosges range millions of years ago through geological processes that created its distinctive granite character throughout the highlands.

The summit forms a natural boundary that locals recognize as a dividing line between two neighboring regions, giving it meaning as a geographic landmark in regional identity.

Access to the summit works best from the ski slope route beginning at Auberge du Tanet-Seelstädtle, which remains open as a hiking trail during warmer months. Snow conditions in winter can affect travel difficulty and visibility on the upper sections.

Between this mountain and the adjacent Gazon de Faîte lies a protected raised bog featuring specialized plants and wildlife that creates an important ecological zone often overlooked by passing hikers.
